The “American husband” version is the only one I had a strong emotional reaction to, because I think in popular culture “training” a husband to behave is much more common than the mirror version. Was that your intent?
(In fact, I had to tell myself that if I were in the husband’s place I would probably approve of getting into the habit of picking up dirty clothes, enough to get past the condescension involved.)
My intent was to point out that the husband version is usually taken as acceptable while the wife version is mostly not. Like I said I did expect many people on LessWrong to have different intuitions, this is why I invoked the mythical average person.
